ÖREBRO - BEER TOWN OF SWEDEN! OR..?

Last weekend I was invited by Örebrokompaniet to spend a couple of days in Örebro here in Sweden as the city has an initiative to lift the brewery culture and craftsmanship behind really good beer that is made locally, combined with strengthening the brand Örebro as a destination.

I got to do so many exciting and inspiring stuff and I am incredibly thankful for being chosen to do this!

The schedule included among other things a visit to Örebro Brew Fest, which is a really great new beer fair held for the very first time (More about this in upcoming blog posts), visits to various breweries, including one who had his business at home in his garage (!). Incredibly awesome. (More about this as well in future blog posts, so stay updated!)

During this stay in beautiful Örebro, I had the honor of staying at Clarion Collection Hotel Borgen, a hotel situated in a building which originally was constructed in 1891 by architects Fritz Ulrich and Eduard Hallquist, inspired by the Middle Ages actually. Over the years it has been home to Örebro Sparbank, writer Hjalmar Bergman and the Nerikes Allehanda newspaper, which had its main editorial office in the building from 1934 to 2013. Until now the building has been renovated in to this beautiful hotel that I got to stay in.

And not enough with only having the pleasure of staying at the hotel itself, I even got to stay in the suite!!
